17/03/2005
It's no use being shy and retiring when it comes to buying a car, according to a survey by What Car? magazine.
Haggling down the price of a new car could save drivers an average of £1,578, or a collective £4 billion annually - leaving them more left over to ensure they have the best car insurance policy.
Citroen was the dealer found most malleable when it comes to haggling, allowing buyers to knock almost a fifth off the asking price according to What Car?.
MG Rover came second, rewarding hagglers with an average saving of 15.8 per cent, followed by Proton and Renault with respective savings of 13.3 per cent and 12.9 per cent on average.
Whichever car you choose and however much your haggling saves you on the asking price, you mustn't forget car insurance.
An online quote will take less than a minute, and you can see just how much you could save.
